Postcode ???

Had a call from a lady working for postcode lottery yesterday just wondering if anyone here knows about it or does it ? I've heard of it but don't know anything about it. She told me its £10 a month and the chances of winning are really high, didn't believe it really but thought I'd double check. Thanks :)
Sorry if this is the wrong place

    Yeah they advertise it on tv (always thought it might be more of an up north thing as the people on it are from the north of London :D) I don't know anyone who does it though!

    If it was that good and the chances of winning were really high, then word of mouth would ensure that you'd heard about it.

    They wouldn't have to resort to flogging it on the phone and personally, if they want you to sign up over the phone with bank details etc, I'd avoid it like the plague!

    Anyway, all lotteries work on one principle...the more people playing it, the longer the odds of winning, but the bigger the prizes. For really good odds of winning, you'll only get small prizes anyway. Can't see the point really.
